Modern day life increasingly necessitates managing multiple roles and stressors, but it also has numerous ways to distract and numb ourselves. It’s easy to become disconnected from our relationships and ourselves, and lose sight of our values and goals. Engaging in therapy provides a unique opportunity to slow down, examine our emotional and behavioral patterns that may no longer be effective, and make more conscious choices about how to live. Clients often share how they feel truly heard and understood in our sessions, finding comfort in the personalized attention and feedback offered.

Whether you resonate with terms like "trans," "non-binary," or use your own unique identifier, I'm here to walk alongside you. Everyone's path is unique, and self-acceptance is the compass guiding us forward.

Couples with young kiddo are particularly at risk for marriage and family strife because they are so busy, and because there is so much that is new to their brains, emotions and relationship. Figuring out how to be both mom and dad as well as husband and wife is often overwhelming and troubling. Tension builds when the relationship energy gets split between kiddos needs (and there are a lot of them!) and marriage needs (and those are valid as well). The energy to figure out how to integrate all those needs, wants, wishes becomes divided and divisive. Disconnected and discontent brew and relationship trouble stews. What to do?

Many of us have gone through experiences that leave us feeling stuck, unmotivated, or without hope for change. The promise of psychotherapy is that it offers a path that illuminates the conscious and unconscious limiting beliefs we unknowingly come to identify with. It allows us a framework where insight becomes possible - and the opportunity for a relationship that is dedicated to knowing you deeply. In this sense, I believe we are partners working to understand your motivations, fears, and deepest hopes so that you can feel a greater sense of freedom and empowerment in your life and in your future.

Many of us struggle in our lives unconsciously stuck with a perspective that helped us survive our past, but is no longer serving us in the present. I help my clients explore the underlying thoughts & beliefs that may be contributing to feeling stuck in their lives. By helping release from these unhealthy patterns I hope to guide clients to better and more fulfilling lives.

Life and its challenges can get pretty overwhelming! I strive to work collaboratively with people to create positive changes in a caring and non-pathologizing environment for those who are struggling with a variety of problems. My guiding approach to effective therapy focuses on seeing the problem as separate from the person. I believe that people are the experts of their lives. I choose to sit in a place of curiosity to help you uncover already present strengths or develop new approaches to life's challenges.

We all can feel overwhelmed when dealing with life's transitions, obstacles & everyday hiccups. Especially, if our inner child is not in alignment with our higher self-actualization. This can wreak havoc on our interpersonal relationships, self-worth, and lovability at times when we go into giver and taker roles. Life can feel amplified when we harness our authentic values, trust our intuition to say no, & effectively communicate in a way that allows us to connect deeply to self & others. I love working with ambitious professional couples who are ready to heal together & align with their higher purpose to create something optimal.
